These outdoor living frameworks also offer a duo purpose: as a solar mount to decrease (or possibly eliminate) your electric bill it is also more family space inviting everyone to enjoy the refreshing air and sunshine, every day.

Western Timber Frame™ timber kits compliment solar installations and do more than just increase the available installation roof area to allow for more panels. ShadeScape® pergolas and pavilion kits give more flexible site suitability, and accommodates installation in unique and hard to reach areas all the while adding beauty and value to your projects.

One of the typical disadvantages of solar energy is that in order to generate the amount of electricity required, you usually need a substantial amount of roof space. In cases where you have a small roof, many corners, hips, and valleys, or if the orientation to the sun is not appropriate, you are forced to choose between sacrificing valuable yard space, or having fewer solar panels.

Many yards today are already small, and so you’re forced to choose between sacrificing your outdoor living space or having few solar panels. Apart from sacrificing valuable yard space, these extra panels are usually mounted on scaffolding which can be very unsightly to any backyard.  If the area and structure is larger, the area to mount to can be substantial.

Pavilions

Our pavilions are a fantastic medium upon which to mount solar panels or to add more.

Customizable roof pitch combined with a flexible site position allows for maximum seasonal energy collection.

Pergolas

A flat roof allows panels to be ideally mounted with standoff mounting hardware for the maximum angle of incidence, and also allows for seasonal adjustment as needed.

Cost Savings

Timber kits that are installed with solar panels qualify for most Federal and State rebates and tax credits. The additional solar panels allow for faster cost recovery.
